| Description | Painted pottery, tall, flaring Cup or 'qero' with a flaring body, no neck/collar, rounded rim, no handles, and a flat base. No molded/modeled additions. The cup is painted with a geometric design in white, black, red, orange, and green? Most of the design is illegible due to loss of the ceramic surface. The vessel was likely fired in an oxidizing atmosphere as the ceramic paste is orange in color. The catalogue number is written on the interior of the vessel and black ink on the bottom of the base reads: "910." |
